>it is dumb, but that is how it's drawn in the book. My only reasoning is Scandinavia is the epicentre of the world instead of America so that's where other people settled
I'm sure the author didn't put any actual though into that. Just put them all in because "Hey, don't wanna be bigoted."
But it is ironic. The goal of this type of American "diversification" is to... well... be more diverse, right? And yet... They just make the demographics of every fictional setting exactly like modern America. So... not very diverse, in fact.
